Regarding prev post, this is a non-deterministic architecture flow. An AI screening tool doesn’t follow 1 path — multiple models adjust ur profile before a human sees it. Rejection happens invisibly, systemically.

“Dark patterns” = tricks we can see in the UI.
But the real danger lies deeper. Deceptive design covers hidden system logic, AI nudges & profiling we can’t see.
If we only fight “dark patterns,” we ignore the machinery behind them.

#DarkPatterns were first wave. With AI in the mix, we’re looking at deceptive design that adapts in real time shaping interfaces.
Dark Patterns, Deceptive Design, and the Law unpacks how these systems work & why regulators are struggling.

To be rapped in the style of Ice Cube's Good Day.
No defaults tricked me, no consent games played,
No dark design got in my way.
No hidden costs, no data decay —
Regulators listen when I got somethin’ to say.
Yeah… today was a good day.
